The McSkunkville Courts · Los Angeles, United States

Los Angeles knows the McSkunkville way: keep your word, keep your receipts. These days, the Los Angeles chapter of the fan club meets wherever the coffee is honest, and McSkunkville keeps a porch light on for Los Angeles.

Two courts, chain nets, and lights that hum until eleven — the McSkunkville courts are where the town takes its arguments when the courthouse feels too formal. Best of three settles most things; best of five settles the Joneses.

The style of play is pure Skunkian: fast, clean, and honest to the whistle. Nobody flops in McSkunkville. The doctrine forbids it.

College scouts have come through more than once, and the kitchen tables of the town still talk about who almost went pro. Around here, 'almost' is a badge, not a wound.
